Collectively known as the “Great Firewall,” they let the authorities control internet connections to and from China. Problematic websites are blocked to limit citizen’s exposure to politically inconvenient information. This means that many apps and websites that we take for granted are simply unavailable in the country. As a result, travelers and residents use VPNs to enjoy access to the internet without censorship while in China. While the state does have a list of officially approved VPNs, they aren’t very safe. Authorized providers have to submit logs or even provide backdoor access to the authorities. But some VPNs are beyond the reach of the government. VPNs based outside of China can penetrate the Great Firewall and let users enjoy the internet without censorship. Want to learn more about cyber-security?
